I called it “The Blue light special” but it’s the same thing you had. Its correct name is “Photodynamic Therapy - PDT Blue Light with ALA” but with me they used Levulan cream. They do use blue lights, thus my nickname After waiting 90 minutes for the cream to absorb I sat with a bank of blue lights wrapped around me for 17 grueling minutes. Very painful, I’m on day 6 & my face is beginning to peel. But I have all these dark spots and red spots that appeared on day 2. My original question had to do with anyone’s experience -like yours. Did your age spots, dark spots and blotchy area go away, peel off. What exactly do you mean my “excellent results”. Describe those. Thank you!

My results were the same as you described - elimination of precancerous lesions, red spots, blotches, etc., as well as general “rejuvenation” of the skin area treated. The major difference was that the cream applied (methylaminolevulinate) was activated by sitting in outdoor daylight for 2 hours. This treatment is less painful and resolves more quickly than the indoor blue light treatment.
